The Sites may also link to social networking websites or include integrated social media tools or “plug-ins,” such as social networking, photo sharing, and video streaming tools offered by third parties. If you use these tools to share personal information or you otherwise share information about our Sites on these social networking websites, those social media companies may collect information about you and may use and share such information, including with us and the general public. We may keep all of this information indefinitely.

Do Not Track Policy

We do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals on our Sites. As such, your navigation of our Sites may be tracked as part of the gathering of quantitative user information described in this Privacy Notice. If you arrive at our Sites by way of a link from a third party site that does respond to “do not track” requests, the recognition of any “do not track” request you have initiated will end as soon as you reach our Sites.

Digital Advertising & Analytics

We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on our behalf and others on non-affiliated platforms.  Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Sites and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices.  This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.

Eat Just adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity.  You may visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt-out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) self-regulatory program.  If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, you may need to renew your opt-out choices exercised through the DAA tool.  Note that electing to opt-out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications.  It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.  Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Sites may not function as intended.

We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Sites and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes.  Eat Just uses Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Sites and for analytics and marketing purposes.  For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use our Sites, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
